Alright UA-camrs, take note because THIS is how you do a review especially for face/complexion products! So wonderful of you to give closeups instead of hiding behind overly bright lighting unwilling to show what actual skin looks like! Thank you, this was helpful as my dry under eyes and fine lines are one of my bigger problem areas. Awesome video!
This is the Holy Grail channel for the ladies of Elegant age. The most meticulous reviews. Integrity. Beautiful and Intelligent Angie. I'm so grateful for this channel.
You said it. No-one else is as meticulous or shows such in dept and close up results where you can REALLY see how a product behaves on the skin. This is my go-to channel for makeup and anti-ageing for women my age.
You are fabulous. THANK you for not using 'UM', 'UH', 'LIKE' etc.. I love you for that. Your voice is calm and your hands are not flying all over everywhere. You speak so well, your cadence is just perfect! Your material is well articulated, research complete, and your lighting and photography are realistic!! WOMAN, YOU GOT IT GOING ON!! Thank you, Lovely Lady!
why would anyone even downvote this? speaking on behalf of my mom, she’s very thankful for the review because finding The concealer for mature skin can really be a pain. thank you!! ❤️
@@bernadineroyal6656 me either....im 46 and usually just skip concealer. Im also trying to find a drug store full coverage foundation that covers my dark spots and emphasizes my fine lines and wrinkles the least
Liz Gibson yes, I agree. Plus her presentation is easy to listen to....not so loud, a more pleasant voice. I have never seen them before, but, have watched others who are too 'talky' and take too long to get to the point! What is this lady's name, BTW??
Oh OK , I see her name is Angie! Yes, she does a excellent presentation! I'm wondering if she ever did the "Amazing Cosmetics' line (concealers). I have used them and got them at Ulta but they no longer carry them. I thought they were pretty good. Now I Clinique - the new one.
another great video, I love watching the ones you do because of the fact your close up is a true close up. Truly informative well done Angie. I have bought so many products by watching learning from your trails on here.
Thank you a million times! This is how a UA-cam makeup review should be done. Not a lot of extraneous chatter. Close-ups and telling it like it is without a lot of hype or excuses. Keep 'em coming.
You are a breath of fresh air after watching UA-cam beauty “gurus” promote over priced products and cake on makeup that would be unrealistic for me everyday. You give real advice, for real people. How do you not have a huge following?! I am so glad I discovered your channel. Your skincare knowledge is amazing! Videos are to the point! Love it. I’m 26 and have been looking for this exact type of advice in your videos. Thank you!
Omg Im a 23 years old guy and I’m hooked on your channel so professional and congratulations I wish other media producers would take note. Thanks thanks a lot!
Thank you so very much for doing your videos. I'm in my 50's as well and you are a fresh face for all of us 50+ girls that have been watching all of these women in their 30's doing the reviews on the products. Thank you again, Jennifer
Oh, my! I'm sorry I'm late to the game here. This is SO helpful. I get that inner corner scaliness with just about every concealer. Most reviews don't go into this level of detail and end up being useless for me. Thank you, thank you!
Me too! I thought it was just me so Angie's video has been an eye opener (no pun intended) and makes me feel a lot more confident about my concealer application
I never EVER comment on anything. Ever. I read comments galore, sometimes for fun; and more often, for extra tips and insights. But again, I NEVER comment; I prefer to be a silent observer. But I had to comment today. I just discovered you and I‘m HOOKED!!! You‘re wonderfully thorough, pleasant to listen to, and honest in your reviews. LOVE IT! As a woman in my mid-40s, I’ve noticed wrinkles and creasing where they never were before, so a video like this is wonderfully insightful, time-saving, and money-saving too. I’m pleased to know that Maybelline Age Rewind and Tarte Shape Tape came out high up, as I use both with regularity. Thanks so much and keep up the good work - we all appreciate it..I definitely do!
Omg ok...so im 35 and need some advice. Is there a way to email you? Its so hard to explain my issues. I honestly dont leave house anymore bc its ridiculous
This is amazing! amazing detailed and consistent information! I also love that you apply it like a normal person and not 20 different concealers and foundations. I appreciate that we have women on youtube who are out of their 20's and early 30's - very helpful to someone entering their 40's. Thank You!
Angie, I always look for your videos when I am planning to shop for something new in skincare and cosmetics and leave the store empty handed if they don’t have what I have written down to purchase! Also recommend to friends. You have shown from a skincare perspective what is possible even after you have started down the path to aging skin. You look much younger at 55yo than you did at 50!! THANKS for all the great work!
I love you for doing this!!! THANK YOU!! Concealer is a tough one for mature skin. BUT I just learned a new trick that is life changing for me. Using my favorite eyelid primer (Maybelline MasterPrime) UNDER my eye!! OMG how beautiful it caused my favorite concealers (Tarte Shape Tape & Maybelline Age Rewind) to sit and stay, with the aid of just a touch of setting powder!!! The more mattifying staying power, especially in the inner corners, is so so much better than ever before with that primer holding it in place. I will have to pick up that Lancôme though, but I'll wait until I run out of one to justify buying it 😂
NativeNYerChicHK I've been thinking of putting primer under my eye but was waiting for Angie to give me the go ahead. You beat her to it. Thanks! 🤗 btw, also a nativeNYer 🍎
Wow I use MasterPrime but never thought to use it under the concealer. Will try it tomorrow. I was so happy to see the Maybelline age rewinder as #2. Saves a lot of money and I have been using it for about 6 months.
It is seeing those close up pictures that make me feel normal and less self-conscience! Thank you-thank you!! I was about to try the UD but I think I'll give Maybelline Age Rewind a fresh try. Bonus - Just saw in the Weekly Ad: 40% off Maybelline at Rite-Aid starting Sunday 2/12!
Kate Szczypinski Yeah, definitely don't try UD. Not worth your money. I'm actually sending mine off to a friend! The Maybelline is phenomenal as is the Shape Tape!!
Eden Tyler I sampled shape tape in ulta the other day because I had seen sooo many people using it and I just found it to be so super thick like paint! I'm not used to that but I guess a little would go a long way. I have severe dry undereye and I'm afraid it will get too cakey and crack 😬
Carissa Fleming it is thick but a little does go a long way. I have a dry undereye and it's the best at not creasing, for me. I don't find that it ever gets cakey if you blend it in well. I would never use as much as she does, though, so that may be the difference
I love your channel. The work you put into each video really is obvious, they never seem rushed like you just through a video together to get one out. You've got such a well put together yet easy going, classy personality that is really enjoyable to watch while learning all the info you share!
I have about 15 different brands and they all crease and do that funky thing in the corners and always make my wrinkles worse. I do like the Tarte shape tape the best, but still would just rather use my foundation under my eye. The more I do under there the more I hate the look....thanks for taking the time to do this test...you are so awesome! Much love and blessings, xoxo
YEEESSSSSSSS!!! 🙌Thank you so very much. My 45-year-old skin and I needed this. Videos abound of younger skin, but my skin is different now, and still changing. Also, the name of your channel may very well be my favorite of all time!!😊
Wow! Just "WOW"! This is the longest video (from youtubers) and about makeup I ever watched, and the most interesting I could recalled! Its such a pleasure finally to see mature, beeaaautiful and intelligent lady, who highly professionally presented products in such aristocratic- simple and elegant way, and with so much real experience and very informative content, which saved me hundreds of dollars and many hours of research and many days of disappointment! Thank you! Thank you so much, dear HotandFlashy!
Girl, your fearlessness with makeup and a camera is amazing! Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I use the Maybelline concealer and love it. I agree that an undereye primer would be great. Can't wait to see what you find for us. 🌹🐝
Thank you Angie for taking the time to try all these concealers and share the results with us. It can be overwhelming with so many different products out there, finding the right one can be a challenge. Sharing your outcome and what you learned by trying all these concealers really help.
Fabulous video! I so needed this, Angie! I have dark circles and puffiness and have been looking for something for both. You have given me a great starting point! I know a lot of work had to have gone into making this video and it's appreciated!
I've been using the Maybelline Age Rewind for so long and I love it. I've tried so many concealers, both high and low end, and I always end up going back to the age rewind. Recently, I tried a sample of a $100 concealer that a few here on UA-cam raved about and it looked worse than the age rewind, that's only $10, on me. I'm so happy I didn't buy the full size. Maybelline Age Rewind is really one of the best out there, in my opinion, and I was glad to see you thought so as well. Great video!❤~Holly
muzicgirl1 same here...in the brightening shade. I probably have 15 concealers and always go back to the Maybelline. Unlike Angie, though, in general I prefer a bit more glowy finish. I set undereyes with Hourglass ethereal light powder.
HotandFlashy I agree with you about that one and also the $127 SP! I wrote a long comment above that details the most amazing tips I got from a makeup artist for film to fight the dry, creepy, dark under eyes of my menopause "journey" and I hope they work for you also!
I'm a huge Maybelline Age Rewind fan.. I've repurchased so many times. I finally got my hands on the Tarte Shape Tape and it's pretty darn good.. so trying that out to see if I'll repurchase. Angie's right though, it's pretty thick and a little difficult to work with. But like it so far. The Lacome looks promising, I may try it next.
Angie, you are amazing! I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the time and research you put into your reviews! Your holy grails have been spot on for me! As expensive as skin care and cosmetics are, it is so nice to get your opinions and research before investing in them. Thank you for all your help for the mature woman! I adore you and always look forward to your post!
I agree with a lot of these comments about how pleasant and down to earth you are. Also your talent for taking before and afters is astounding! You much are appreciated. 😊
Such an excellent, excellent review! I'm 50 and so happy to have found Angie's channel! I love watching all the younger beauty vloggers with perfect skin and non-hooded eyes create awesome looks, but it can be discouraging for someone with mature skin and deeply set eyes. Thanks so much Angie for your meticulous reviews, addressing all of my aging skin concerns, teaching me so many new things and confirming things that I had learned through (very expensive) trial and error. From now on I consult you before purchasing anything:)
I just adore you HotandFlashy! You, are by far the most pleasant , easiest to watch and listen to person I've ever encountered on UA-cam! A real treat. Bless you and your most detailed, honest, and most informative approach to demonstrating product. Above and beyond, "just the best." Such a lovely lady. I'm glad that I found your channel.
Angie, I recently found your channel and I have to say I am so very impressed with all of the work, time, energy and thoroughness you put into each video you are presenting. I am 51 and have never really had issues with my skin until this past year. OMG, it was like "what has happened". Of course, hormones changing is what is happening. I am a nurse and I try to take care of myself with my diet and exercise, however I have neglected my skin for about 3 years. So, I have thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and have been trying to catch up!! Let's just say that I have ordered pretty much all of your skin care routine products and am dedicating myself to re-starting to really "pamper" my skin to keep myself as youthful as possible. I believe putting great products on top of your skin is just as important as what you put into your body. There is a wealth of information about what to eat that is healthy, but not a lot about who carries what products etc for good topical skin care products.... I love the Timeless and The Ordinary Products. It just makes sense, but to find out these "hidden treasures" is hard when you don't have time to research all day. I want to also say that if anyone has the time to read what the other comments by your other readers have posted, please do. I have heard so many positive comments about many other products and frankly when you hear so many people mention a certain product, it certainly is worth looking at. Cosmetics are very overwhelming!! There are just too many to wrap around your head!! You have taken the guess work and frustration out of 80% of it. I think the other 20% is to just be patient, use trial and error on what you have found and see what agrees with your skin. I love the suggestions, but I have to also factor in my skin type, genetics and lifestyle. Like you have said many times, just because something works for you, does not mean it will work for someone else. Overall, your tried and trues do work for me and for that I am grateful that I do not have to start at the beginning of a search. I have your channel and your experience to help me know what to do and what to look for. THANK YOU very much for all of your wonderful videos. You are very inspiring to watch and I personally appreciate someone over 50, being real and putting so many makeup and beauty/skin care products to the test.
I have been using smashbox photo finish hydrating under eye primer and the Lancome Effacernes Waterproof concealer and I set it with Make up For Ever HD Powder. I have 4 out of the 9 concealers that you picked, I'm 51 and have the same problems.Thank you Angie
This. Is. Amazing. I’ve really been struggling with my “changing” skin. Wrinkles, fine lines, dry patches and dark spots. Retinoids and Vitamin c have become my new best friends, yet I still have oily t zone and huge pores. Concealer has been a challenge. Thank you! For your honest reviews, candid close-ups, and diligent check ins. Makeup isn’t cheap, and to repeatedly buy failure after failure is disheartening. I had seen the Maybelline Age Rewind get good reviews, but wasn’t sure if it would work with my fine lines. I will try both it and the Lancôme next!! Please continue to do reviews like these!!! We need you! ☺️
Thank you for testing out all of these products. You are one of the few people on UA-cam that is about my age and I really appreciate you taking the time trying and testing all of these products. Thank you for your honest reviews.
When it comes to the Age Rewind concealer, if you take the sponge applicator off and apply initially with your finger you don't lose product in the sponge. Also, they make one called a "Brightener" which is more salmony and is great for cancelling out blue/purple undereye circles.
I have worn the Lancome concealer for years and totally agree that it is so underrated. I apply with a small brush and set with Laura Mercier secret brightening powder.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I’m 41 years old. Of course my skin doesn’t look like a 20 year old. I LOVE how you do close ups so we can see REAL results. I am having concealer issues myself and this video is amazing to me!!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you! I'm new to your channel and appreciate someone that does have a few wrinkles willing to share their experiences. I'm 35 and have plenty of fine lines and dark circles. Needed help with creasing and figuring out how to minimize my wrinkles rather than making them look bigger. Thank you!
Dear Hot and Flashy, you are so awesome. Have learned a lot about make up and products from you. I turn 59 this year and am fighting the fight as you are. Have just recently started with Vitamin C and can see lightening of age spots. I am just introducing retinals and with my sensitive skin am going very slowly as you suggested. Thanks for the clear presentation of your products and for being brave with your sometimes bare skin.
I really appreciate this video, Angie, I have such a love/hate relationship with concealers. That was a lot of work and you were so thorough. My skin, unlike yours, is dry, do you have an impression of which of these would work best for us drier skinned gals?
Lynn H. I have the same problem: super dry skin under my eyes, though my eyelids are so oily. I've liked Charlotte tilbury retoucher. It's very emollient almost like a moisturizer. I lightly set it and I'm good to go. It something's gets in my wrinkles but I just pat lightly with my finger and it's gone. While this isn't perfect, it's better than others that make that dry skin like worse with giant cracks.
I have super dry skin too and I found that using a Vitamin E stick before applying concealer helps keep the flakes under control. I can always tell the difference when I skip that step.
For future 2nd round please consider Giorgio Armani high Precision Retouch as for me it wins over my number two which is the Lancôme. The thing I've found as I age is that less is more....I use far less than what you do though my discoloration etc are worse (I'm also dryer I think). The way I am able to make this tiny amount work is with both the Lancôme and the Armani to use a small amount of the corresponding corrector ONLY on the darkest areas (for me the very inner corner and outer corner). With Lancome I use the Maquicomplete under the Effacernes and for the Armani, the Master Corrector in #1 for my skin tone). I was taught by a makeup artist on a film shoot (I was training the dog that was in the film, I wasn't in it) to set with a shadow brush a la Mac 217 with a tiny amount of powder ONLY where there were fine lines and the most AMAZING TIP was to take a matte pink undertone eyeshadow (like the MUFE Artist shadow in M532) and place it where the very dark shadow is at very inner corner / inner edge of nose where one typically places a shimmery inner corner highlight for an unbelievably perfect brightening effect that wouldn't look scaly or dry. Sorry for the marathon length comment but this entire technique has made such a difference that people started asking what I'd had done (which was nothing), the same way your hooded eye makeup trick does!
Wait, do you mean first set the concealer with powder, then put the undertone shadow on top? wouldn't that make it cakey? the spot concealing only directly on inner corner discolouration is something I've done forever-that was the way it was always done back in the 80's when I started to apply my own makeup. It's how a lot of the top makeup artists still do it-spot concealing- e.g Lisa Eldridge. It's only in the last few years this ridiculous over application down the cheek thing has been around.
greenknitter the setting powder would go under the eye and the pink toned shadow only on the inner corner - inner edge of nose where esp those with deep set eyes have a lot of darkness. Would it help if I did a little demo video on my Instagram? Hard to describe. Let me know. My IG is the same as my name on here....
Awesome! Iv'e been using the Maybelline Age Rewind for years, and when I came across this video I really thought that I would be switching that out for one of your top 3, but now it's confirmed that I'll be sticking with the Age Rewind. Thank you!!
I have no idea why everyone doesn't do their videos like this, but it's amazing. Thank you so much! This is fantastic and exactly what I was looking for.
Wayne Goss had this tip and maybe it would work for you in those corners where the product wore away - he said to use an eyelid primer so that the concealer has something to adhere to and should keep it from settling. I suppose it's worth trying. I would only dab a little just in the corners there. You don't need it really anywhere else. Loved the video.
I've tried that tip and I didn't like it. For some reason, eyeshadow primers really accentuated the dryness under my eye. I've tried UD Primer Potion, Milani (that I love for my eyelid) and even Mac paint pot. I know Smashbox actually makes an "under eye primer" and I'm wondering if anyone has tried that?
It didn't work for me either, Cheryl, but I can't even set my concealer with powder as it makes under my eyes look awfully dry. That area drives me nuts! I see these young girls swiping any old thing under their eyes and they look so smooth and I feel sad those days of smoothness are long gone for me. lol ; )
I have trouble with powders too! I've been using the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores loose powder and so far it's the best but I have to be very light handed. I want to try that By Terry powder that everyone is going on about but I think it's $60 and I just haven't been able to swallow that yet! And what about these girls baking! I actually tried it and oh hell no!!
Cheryle Breaux - hi Cheryle. I use it and I like it, it is quite hydrating without being greasy and seems to set the concealer better than without. Also no nasty ingredients. I'll also wait for the Angie test to see if there is anything better💋
Angie!! This was a SUPERB REVIEW!!! Please make an updated one for 2019!!! I found your channel by pure happenstance but EVERYTHING you have recommended has become Holy Grail Status (Chanel Foundation, Love it!) I’m even gonna get the Lancôme concealer from this video. Please consider making an updated one.🙏🏼❤️
as a women of a certain age, setting powder I use is Sephora bight set pressed finishing powder, it comes in yellow but with a fluffy under eye brush, just sweep n last all day, I have Laura Mercier, Ben nye, n RCMA , but , this one has proven it's work, I use it daily under my eyes n it doesn't get into any lines , wrinkles that I noticed. quite a few r made for mostly younger age, I guess they think women of a certain age don't use makeup!!! but try it,,,,.good video
Wow I’m so impressed with the amount of work you did for this review and for actually showing the close up pictures! This is the first time i’ve really seen a UA-cam choose accurate portrayals over their own vanity for the sake of their viewers! Thanks so much!
Surprised how many viewers are 38-40 years old. I am 73, reasonably attractive, and still interested in finding the best products. Been watching you Angie for a couple years. I hope you are still doing these videos in you 60's and 70's and beyond. You are the gold standard.
Angie, I am in my 60's and would love a review on "puffy eye" cosmetics that really help. A review like this concealer but for puffy eye. I know there are several out there to review. I have been subscribed for several years and enjoy your channel. Thanks
Hi Linda! I am 56 years old and have deep set dark circles although I would say that 70-80% is heredity.(Italian and Irish) Fair/Light skin tone Blue Eyes and thanks to my Italian genes, dark circles have plagued my eyes that warrant questions, "Are you feeling ok??" or "Don't you get enough sleep?" Okay! Now all that said, I can without a doubt feel certain to recommend: *Senna's Totally Transforming Concealer .09oz (full coverage)in Neutral Light. It has a twist off applicator with the doe sponge or you can use your finger. It helps firm and reduce puffiness as well as crease proof, cake proof and long wear formula becomes invisible on the skin as it covers blemishes, discolorations, redness and leaves a silky finish. I ordered 2 tubes/yr at $22-25 a piece. I usually had at least 1/2 of the 2nd tube left over.
I have my Fall/Winter Concealer Favorite!! I LOVE, LOVE this concealer by: *Josie Maran Argan Creamy Concealer Crayon .01oz in Fair 1. I use her other Argan infused Products from Cleanser to Day/Night Moisturizers AND so much More!!
Hi Angie, this was helpful. Some of us with hereditary dark circles have to use a color corrector before concealer. Another UA-camr, Stephanie Marie, did a video recently showing how she applies Tarte Shape Tape after her color corrector. Her method really helped me to totally conceal that darkness, and I use less product overall. Every little bit of knowledge helps! 😊
PolishedbyJamie - I use a small bit of Benifit's Erase Paste tapped on to the darkness. I use the medium shade even though my complexion is fair. I just use a light or fair concealer over it. Bobbie Brown's also worked well for me, but it's drier. Thanks for asking and hope it helps!
Mint hi! so iv never really used concealer bc i never needed it. Now I'm 34 with 4 kids! So i have the obvious "mom bags" and iv been going back and forth on what to get..Tartes shape tape being the main 1 I'm leaning towards (i have a 30%off promo if used. inthe next 12hrs too 😂)but what I'm confused about is shades!!!! I'm a dark olive complexion and being summer now I'm pretty dark. So when it comes to the Shape Tape anyway,do i go 1-2 shades lighter or darker? iv yet to understand this! Anyone else that reads this and uses Tartes Shape Tape please feel free to give your input as well! Thanks! xxx
Oh Angie you've saved me AGAIN! I spent all day yesterday trawling the Internet for the 'perfect' Under eye concealer, and along you came with your fab reviews and saved the day! You're my Beauty Super Hero! Ps.. have you ever tried the Clarins Instant Concealer that seems to get rave reviews? I'm torn between that and the Lancôme one at the moment 👍😍
Angie you’re the best!!!!!!! Which setting powder do you use. You keep saying it. Which one girl. Sooo helpful. Every you tuber should learn from you on comparisons. You are the guru
Angie, congratulations. This is how you review products. You are so educated about the products and so willing to learn more about them by testing them rigidly. You go girl. I think you are wonderful and beautiful. Have a great day!
I like that you tested several products from drugstore brand up to the higher end brands, and that you gave them all a fair shake. That way someone who can't or doesn't want to spend $20 and up for any one make up product, doesn't need to. I found your video VERY helpful, because I have had a very hard time finding the right concealer that doesn't settle into my under eye wrinkles. I bought the Maybelline Age Rewind, and I absolutely love it, thanks to your review. Thank you!
I cannot thank you enough! I will try using the setting powder, I had forsaken it due to the wrinkles but will try it with concealer. I value your reviews so much! You’ve saved me a lot of money!
Thank you as always for being so informative!! I've gone and spent so much money on concealers! And at the end looks worse than ever making my under eye wrinkles worse than they really are! I gave up just don't use it! I'll just put a foundation that is lighter than face one and does the job. Angie would the fractional laser you had work for undereye wrinkles?
Hi Melissa~ The Fraxel Dual laser does help with under eye wrinkles but they can't do very many passes under the eyes (don't want to burn you) so you don't get the same bang as you do on forehead and cheeks.
Thanks for another great tutorial Angie. I’ve learned so much from watching your videos. I purchased the Lancome Effacernes a few months ago before I watched this comparison and I agree it is one of the best ones I have tried in the last 40 years-at least for my 50+ vintage skin. It is great to know you think so too.I also set it using aLaura Mercier setting powder with a damp beauty blender and I am going to now try your new application method and apply in a larger area like you have demonstrated here. It looks absolutely fabulous and thank you for always coming up with new ideas for keeping us looking our best!
You did an infomercial for “City Lights” concealer. At least, you were in it. Did you get paid for that? If so, why did you not test it here. To be honest, whatever you test and say you love, increases the price to sometimes double what it cost originally, e.g. Revitalash. Are you getting commissions for all these products? A lot of women can’t afford them when the price increases. Also, for the majority of women, your look books are laughable. The majority of everything comes from Nordstrom’s. A lot of women can’t afford that and they certainly can’t afford Chloe or Rebecca Minkoff. I think your “hauls” are pretty much the same. I buy from Nordstrom’s and Sephora's but I have a lot of friends who can’t afford that. I know you do occasional drugstore hauls, however, it’s pretty clear you don’t use them. Again, what I see, whether it be Amazon (especially Amazon) or something else, you have done nothing but drive up prices. Do you get commissions for those items? Also, it’s very difficult to believe you have not had ‘work’ done. I was a nurse before I went back to school to do something completely different, I believe I can tell you exactly what you’ve had done. Even Retin A could not do all that you are claiming it has done. Also, an ARNP friend of mine who works for a plastic surgeon and does filler and Botox, looked at your pictures. You give great information and you are a beautiful woman but it would be interesting to know what your endorsements are and how much they net you in a month and to know what you done, perhaps in your late 40s. If I could do it, believe me I would so there’s nothing of which to be ashamed. I just say own it!
Love your videos!! I started trusting you the minute you listed Lancome Effacernes as your favorite concealer for mature skin!! I have been using it personally for years, I am a makeup artist that has worked for MAC, Chanel, Estee Lauder and Lancome and have been using this on customers with mature skin for years as well even when I worked for another company I would sneak it in (telling the customer of course that it was my favorite) LOL. Thank you for your awesome tutorials they are the best I’ve seen, keep em coming!!!
Dear Angie, I've been watching your videos for a few months now. My concealer (I chose the l'oreal), hydratouch, and finishing powder arrived today. I've never used concealer before and really appreciate your doing this review as it cut through all the overwhelming choices. I LOVE the results!!
I’ve heard the Marc Jacobs coconut eye primer is supposed to make concealer last and not wrinkle. Please try and let us know if that is indeed the case. Thanks for doing this testing for us!
This is everything!! 🙏🏼 thank you for your honesty and REAL photos! I’m in my 30’s and a makeup artist, very descriptive and your makeup skills are exactly as I would do it. so glad you’re not like every MUA promoting shape tape it’s terrible for anyone over 30!! ❤️
I was surprised to see the Lancôme in the number one spot. I have been using that one for years but never hear anyone talk about it. A little goes a long way and I have had the same tube for I don't know how long!!! It really is my favorite!
Cristina Risso I have dry skin as well. I didn't try the Lancôme but I looooove my make up forever full cover!!! It's currently my holy grail at the moment.
oh, that is my holy grail too, but only for the face (pimples, spots, little veins). It would be too thick for the under eye area ... not sure how you do it with dry skin ...
Thanks for the reviews, they were really informative... I use an organic jojoba oil at the 5 hour mark... the teeniest tiny amount... less than a drop and blend it onto my hand and then right at the end tap it onto my concealer... it resets the concealer and you can repowder and go and your face is great for the rest of the day. (Tip stolen from Beauty and the Boutique). It really works for me and gets me a whole day of wear out of my concealer.
Just make sure most of the oil has been absorbed or you wipe your concealer off... the first time I did it I ended up losing all my concealer. It's a bit of trial and error.
Jacqueline Gonzalez I bought mine from Beauty and the Boutique... google that and it will show the brand she sells... am at work so can't look at mine sorry. Any organic jojoba will work but only the tiniest tiniest amount....
Your top two are the only two I own! One additional bonus with Lancôme is you can match it perfectly with your foundation if you like. Thanks for a great review!
Thanks Angie. This is a very informative video. It’s nice to see that people with mature skin can be notified about what works well for wrinkles. All I see are these young you tubers that pile the concealer on and they have young skin.
Alright UA-camrs, take note because THIS is how you do a review especially for face/complexion products! So wonderful of you to give closeups instead of hiding behind overly bright lighting unwilling to show what actual skin looks like! Thank you, this was helpful as my dry under eyes and fine lines are one of my bigger problem areas. Awesome video!
FOR SURE. She taught me how to do videos. I hope my videos are half as good.
agreed!!!
I could not agree MORE. This is HOW IT IS DONE. Angie dropped the mic at the end of this one - did you see it? lol
themakeupmoth I agree!!!!!!
themakeupmoth I agree 100%
This is the Holy Grail channel for the ladies of Elegant age. The most meticulous reviews. Integrity. Beautiful and Intelligent Angie. I'm so grateful for this channel.
You said it. No-one else is as meticulous or shows such in dept and close up results where you can REALLY see how a product behaves on the skin. This is my go-to channel for makeup and anti-ageing for women my age.
Yes! Angie rocks! :)
Zlata Z I love term "elegant age". 😊
I prefer the term more life experienced. 😆
Zlata Z m
You are fabulous. THANK you for not using 'UM', 'UH', 'LIKE' etc.. I love you for that. Your voice is calm and your hands are not flying all over everywhere. You speak so well, your cadence is just perfect! Your material is well articulated, research complete, and your lighting and photography are realistic!! WOMAN, YOU GOT IT GOING ON!! Thank you, Lovely Lady!
I was thinking the very same things
Yes!
why would anyone even downvote this? speaking on behalf of my mom, she’s very thankful for the review because finding The concealer for mature skin can really be a pain. thank you!! ❤️
PLEASE DO AN UPDATED VERSION OF THIS FOR 2019 WITH NEW CONCEALERS!!
Nicole Barngrover yes, that would be great if she would do that. I am still on the hunt for my mature skin. I am not finding any as of yet..☹️
@@bernadineroyal6656 me either....im 46 and usually just skip concealer. Im also trying to find a drug store full coverage foundation that covers my dark spots and emphasizes my fine lines and wrinkles the least
Yes would love an updated version! Have you tried the Charlotte Tilbury magic away? Curious about that one. You do great reviews.
@@embeth446 I didn't like that one very much
Yes- Jeffree Star’s Magic Star concealer!
Nobody is as thorough as you are with testing. Thank you!
Liz Gibson yes, I agree. Plus her presentation is easy to listen to....not so loud, a more pleasant voice. I have never seen them before, but, have watched others who are too 'talky' and take too long to get to the point! What is this lady's name, BTW??
Oh OK , I see her name is Angie!
Yes, she does a excellent presentation! I'm wondering if she ever did the "Amazing Cosmetics' line (concealers). I have used them and got them at Ulta but they no longer carry them. I thought they were pretty good. Now I Clinique - the new one.
Discovered your videos and think you do a great job. I have taken your recommendations...using several of the products you rated well
another great video, I love watching the ones you do because of the fact your close up is a true close up. Truly informative well done Angie. I have bought so many products by watching learning from your trails on here.
Mandy Hayes 👍👍👍
Same here :)
I thank you for YOUR time. This video was a ton of work and I appreciate all your time and effort.
Thank you a million times! This is how a UA-cam makeup review should be done. Not a lot of extraneous chatter. Close-ups and telling it like it is without a lot of hype or excuses. Keep 'em coming.
You are a breath of fresh air after watching UA-cam beauty “gurus” promote over priced products and cake on makeup that would be unrealistic for me everyday. You give real advice, for real people. How do you not have a huge following?! I am so glad I discovered your channel. Your skincare knowledge is amazing! Videos are to the point! Love it. I’m 26 and have been looking for this exact type of advice in your videos. Thank you!
Omg Im a 23 years old guy and I’m hooked on your channel so professional and congratulations I wish other media producers would take note. Thanks thanks a lot!
Thank you so very much for doing your videos. I'm in my 50's as well and you are a fresh face for all of us 50+ girls that have been watching all of these women in their 30's doing the reviews on the products. Thank you again, Jennifer
Oh, my! I'm sorry I'm late to the game here. This is SO helpful. I get that inner corner scaliness with just about every concealer. Most reviews don't go into this level of detail and end up being useless for me. Thank you, thank you!
Me too! I thought it was just me so Angie's video has been an eye opener (no pun intended) and makes me feel a lot more confident about my concealer application
I use a little vaseline at the corners of my eyes.
I never EVER comment on anything. Ever. I read comments galore, sometimes for fun; and more often, for extra tips and insights. But again, I NEVER comment; I prefer to be a silent observer. But I had to comment today. I just discovered you and I‘m HOOKED!!! You‘re wonderfully thorough, pleasant to listen to, and honest in your reviews. LOVE IT! As a woman in my mid-40s, I’ve noticed wrinkles and creasing where they never were before, so a video like this is wonderfully insightful, time-saving, and money-saving too. I’m pleased to know that Maybelline Age Rewind and Tarte Shape Tape came out high up, as I use both with regularity. Thanks so much and keep up the good work - we all appreciate it..I definitely do!
Omg ok...so im 35 and need some advice. Is there a way to email you? Its so hard to explain my issues. I honestly dont leave house anymore bc its ridiculous
I don’t know if you know how much your efforts are appreciated, but thank you so much!🌷💕
This has to be the best concealer video I have ever seen!
You are the RockStar of product testing! This was such a great video and I love learning from you. 💕
Thank you Angie! I love your tset videos because you ARENT a make-up artist and you do such a thorough analysis.
Cheers!
This is amazing! amazing detailed and consistent information! I also love that you apply it like a normal person and not 20 different concealers and foundations. I appreciate that we have women on youtube who are out of their 20's and early 30's - very helpful to someone entering their 40's. Thank You!
Angie, I always look for your videos when I am planning to shop for something new in skincare and cosmetics and leave the store empty handed if they don’t have what I have written down to purchase! Also recommend to friends. You have shown from a skincare perspective what is possible even after you have started down the path to aging skin. You look much younger at 55yo than you did at 50!! THANKS for all the great work!
I love you for doing this!!! THANK YOU!! Concealer is a tough one for mature skin. BUT I just learned a new trick that is life changing for me. Using my favorite eyelid primer (Maybelline MasterPrime) UNDER my eye!! OMG how beautiful it caused my favorite concealers (Tarte Shape Tape & Maybelline Age Rewind) to sit and stay, with the aid of just a touch of setting powder!!! The more mattifying staying power, especially in the inner corners, is so so much better than ever before with that primer holding it in place.
I will have to pick up that Lancôme though, but I'll wait until I run out of one to justify buying it 😂
NativeNYerChicHK I've been thinking of putting primer under my eye but was waiting for Angie to give me the go ahead. You beat her to it. Thanks! 🤗 btw, also a nativeNYer 🍎
NativeNYerChicHK thank you for telling us about trying eye primer under your eye. I'm trying it tomorrow!
New trend on youtube..eyelid primer..haven't tried it yet, but apparently works..great tip!
The Tarte 360 Clean Slate primer was made to be used on both lids - and has the same effect. You can use most eyelid primers this way.
Wow I use MasterPrime but never thought to use it under the concealer. Will try it tomorrow. I was so happy to see the Maybelline age rewinder as #2. Saves a lot of money and I have been using it for about 6 months.
It is seeing those close up pictures that make me feel normal and less self-conscience! Thank you-thank you!! I was about to try the UD but I think I'll give Maybelline Age Rewind a fresh try. Bonus - Just saw in the Weekly Ad: 40% off Maybelline at Rite-Aid starting Sunday 2/12!
Kate Szczypinski Yeah, definitely don't try UD. Not worth your money. I'm actually sending mine off to a friend! The Maybelline is phenomenal as is the Shape Tape!!
Eden Tyler I sampled shape tape in ulta the other day because I had seen sooo many people using it and I just found it to be so super thick like paint! I'm not used to that but I guess a little would go a long way. I have severe dry undereye and I'm afraid it will get too cakey and crack 😬
I really appreciate those shots too! Thanks Angie XO
Carissa Fleming it is thick but a little does go a long way. I have a dry undereye and it's the best at not creasing, for me. I don't find that it ever gets cakey if you blend it in well. I would never use as much as she does, though, so that may be the difference
Eden Tyler true, thank you for the info
Love your comparison videos. I cannot imagine how much time you put in this video. The results were wonderful. Blessings....MaryEllen
The time and effort you always put into your reviews is remarkable...
I always look to you when I want to purchase makeup!
Thanks so much Karen!
Lancome Effacerness is my Favorite too.
I love your channel. The work you put into each video really is obvious, they never seem rushed like you just through a video together to get one out. You've got such a well put together yet easy going, classy personality that is really enjoyable to watch while learning all the info you share!
Thanks Angie I love the way you mixed drugstore and high end 😘😘😘
This video deserves a million views and likes!
Thanks, that means a lot!!!
don't know why so many didn't like it, very helpful I think!
I have about 15 different brands and they all crease and do that funky thing in the corners and always make my wrinkles worse. I do like the Tarte shape tape the best, but still would just rather use my foundation under my eye. The more I do under there the more I hate the look....thanks for taking the time to do this test...you are so awesome! Much love and blessings, xoxo
susan moore ugh same here!
YEEESSSSSSSS!!! 🙌Thank you so very much. My 45-year-old skin and I needed this. Videos abound of younger skin, but my skin is different now, and still changing. Also, the name of your channel may very well be my favorite of all time!!😊
Wow! Just "WOW"! This is the longest video (from youtubers) and about makeup I ever watched, and the most interesting I could recalled! Its such a pleasure finally to see mature, beeaaautiful and intelligent lady, who highly professionally presented products in such aristocratic- simple and elegant way, and with so much real experience and very informative content, which saved me hundreds of dollars and many hours of research and many days of disappointment! Thank you! Thank you so much, dear HotandFlashy!
Angie, not once have you steered me wrong with your advice. Thank you so much for all the videos.
Michele Coit I
Girl, your fearlessness with makeup and a camera is amazing! Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I use the Maybelline concealer and love it. I agree that an undereye primer would be great. Can't wait to see what you find for us. 🌹🐝
for me the tarte is the winner it look best on the pictures
claudia zermeno agreed. that age rewind has good coverage for undereyes but the best full coverage plus brightening effect is hands down tarte.
Angie the work you put into your videos to pack them with information is just incredible . Thank you.
Thank you Angie for taking the time to try all these concealers and share the results with us. It can be overwhelming with so many different products out there, finding the right one can be a challenge. Sharing your outcome and what you learned by trying all these concealers really help.
Fabulous video! I so needed this, Angie! I have dark circles and puffiness and have been looking for something for both. You have given me a great starting point! I know a lot of work had to have gone into making this video and it's appreciated!
I've been using the Maybelline Age Rewind for so long and I love it. I've tried so many concealers, both high and low end, and I always end up going back to the age rewind. Recently, I tried a sample of a $100 concealer that a few here on UA-cam raved about and it looked worse than the age rewind, that's only $10, on me. I'm so happy I didn't buy the full size. Maybelline Age Rewind is really one of the best out there, in my opinion, and I was glad to see you thought so as well. Great video!❤~Holly
Can I guess which one?? Are it's initials BTD? If so I agree with you 100%!!
muzicgirl1 same here...in the brightening shade. I probably have 15 concealers and always go back to the Maybelline. Unlike Angie, though, in general I prefer a bit more glowy finish. I set undereyes with Hourglass ethereal light powder.
HotandFlashy I agree with you about that one and also the $127 SP! I wrote a long comment above that details the most amazing tips I got from a makeup artist for film to fight the dry, creepy, dark under eyes of my menopause "journey" and I hope they work for you also!
I'm a huge Maybelline Age Rewind fan.. I've repurchased so many times. I finally got my hands on the Tarte Shape Tape and it's pretty darn good.. so trying that out to see if I'll repurchase. Angie's right though, it's pretty thick and a little difficult to work with. But like it so far. The Lacome looks promising, I may try it next.
HotandFlashy I was actually talking about SP. I'll skip on the BTD as well!
Angie, you are amazing! I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the time and research you put into your reviews! Your holy grails have been spot on for me! As expensive as skin care and cosmetics are, it is so nice to get your opinions and research before investing in them. Thank you for all your help for the mature woman! I adore you and always look forward to your post!
Pam Kerns 👍
I agree with a lot of these comments about how pleasant and down to earth you are. Also your talent for taking before and afters is astounding! You much are appreciated. 😊
Such an excellent, excellent review! I'm 50 and so happy to have found Angie's channel! I love watching all the younger beauty vloggers with perfect skin and non-hooded eyes create awesome looks, but it can be discouraging for someone with mature skin and deeply set eyes. Thanks so much Angie for your meticulous reviews, addressing all of my aging skin concerns, teaching me so many new things and confirming things that I had learned through (very expensive) trial and error. From now on I consult you before purchasing anything:)
Your reviews are my holy grail advice on whether or not to try products. Thank you!!😊
Thank you for your thoroughness. I really appreciate your attention to detail. Have a great weekend!
I just adore you HotandFlashy! You, are by far the most pleasant , easiest to watch and listen to person I've ever encountered on UA-cam! A real treat. Bless you and your most detailed, honest, and most informative approach to demonstrating product. Above and beyond, "just the best." Such a lovely lady. I'm glad that I found your channel.
Yes - this lady has blessed us repeatedly - Thank you HotandFlashy!
Agree 💯
So true!
Angie, I recently found your channel and I have to say I am so very impressed with all of the work, time, energy and thoroughness you put into each video you are presenting. I am 51 and have never really had issues with my skin until this past year. OMG, it was like "what has happened". Of course, hormones changing is what is happening. I am a nurse and I try to take care of myself with my diet and exercise, however I have neglected my skin for about 3 years. So, I have thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and have been trying to catch up!! Let's just say that I have ordered pretty much all of your skin care routine products and am dedicating myself to re-starting to really "pamper" my skin to keep myself as youthful as possible. I believe putting great products on top of your skin is just as important as what you put into your body. There is a wealth of information about what to eat that is healthy, but not a lot about who carries what products etc for good topical skin care products.... I love the Timeless and The Ordinary Products. It just makes sense, but to find out these "hidden treasures" is hard when you don't have time to research all day. I want to also say that if anyone has the time to read what the other comments by your other readers have posted, please do. I have heard so many positive comments about many other products and frankly when you hear so many people mention a certain product, it certainly is worth looking at. Cosmetics are very overwhelming!! There are just too many to wrap around your head!! You have taken the guess work and frustration out of 80% of it. I think the other 20% is to just be patient, use trial and error on what you have found and see what agrees with your skin. I love the suggestions, but I have to also factor in my skin type, genetics and lifestyle. Like you have said many times, just because something works for you, does not mean it will work for someone else. Overall, your tried and trues do work for me and for that I am grateful that I do not have to start at the beginning of a search. I have your channel and your experience to help me know what to do and what to look for. THANK YOU very much for all of your wonderful videos. You are very inspiring to watch and I personally appreciate someone over 50, being real and putting so many makeup and beauty/skin care products to the test.
You're so well spoken and articulate. You explain things so well! I appreciate the over 50 common sense make up choices.
You should be a makeup artist! Thank you for all your time and energy!!
I have been using smashbox photo finish hydrating under eye primer and the Lancome Effacernes Waterproof concealer and I set it with Make up For Ever HD Powder. I have 4 out of the 9 concealers that you picked, I'm 51 and have the same problems.Thank you Angie
You are wonderful at comparison videos! As a mature women, I love watching your channel!
Jessica Siders 👍
This. Is. Amazing. I’ve really been struggling with my “changing” skin. Wrinkles, fine lines, dry patches and dark spots. Retinoids and Vitamin c have become my new best friends, yet I still have oily t zone and huge pores. Concealer has been a challenge. Thank you! For your honest reviews, candid close-ups, and diligent check ins. Makeup isn’t cheap, and to repeatedly buy failure after failure is disheartening. I had seen the Maybelline Age Rewind get good reviews, but wasn’t sure if it would work with my fine lines. I will try both it and the Lancôme next!! Please continue to do reviews like these!!! We need you! ☺️
Thank you for testing out all of these products. You are one of the few people on UA-cam that is about my age and I really appreciate you taking the time trying and testing all of these products. Thank you for your honest reviews.
When it comes to the Age Rewind concealer, if you take the sponge applicator off and apply initially with your finger you don't lose product in the sponge. Also, they make one called a "Brightener" which is more salmony and is great for cancelling out blue/purple undereye circles.
Glad to see the Maybelline one made it to the top. It's the one I use on my 61 year old eyes! Looking forward to the under eye primer video.
I have worn the Lancome concealer for years and totally agree that it is so underrated. I apply with a small brush and set with Laura Mercier secret brightening powder.
అఅ
Hi. I just bought Lancôme but I think the color is to dark for me,it's called dore. Is there anyway to lighten up the color?
Thanks
C
Any powder in put powder near my eyes, emphasize my wrinkles
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I’m 41 years old. Of course my skin doesn’t look like a 20 year old. I LOVE how you do close ups so we can see REAL results. I am having concealer issues myself and this video is amazing to me!!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you! I'm new to your channel and appreciate someone that does have a few wrinkles willing to share their experiences. I'm 35 and have plenty of fine lines and dark circles. Needed help with creasing and figuring out how to minimize my wrinkles rather than making them look bigger. Thank you!
I wish I could have liked this video twice!!! Great job, very detailed!
Dear Hot and Flashy, you are so awesome. Have learned a lot about make up and products from you. I turn 59 this year and am fighting the fight as you are. Have just recently started with Vitamin C and can see lightening of age spots. I am just introducing retinals and with my sensitive skin am going very slowly as you suggested. Thanks for the clear presentation of your products and for being brave with your sometimes bare skin.
Please do an updated version of this for 2019? This was a great video!!👍😊
yes please!!!!!!
Pleaaaaaaseeeee
Yes please! Desperate tired mature mum here! X
So glad I found you. I’m 50 and it’s always young women with no issues demonstrating concealer. Yay!
I really appreciate this video, Angie, I have such a love/hate relationship with concealers. That was a lot of work and you were so thorough. My skin, unlike yours, is dry, do you have an impression of which of these would work best for us drier skinned gals?
Angie, thank you for doing this! This is an area I struggle with. You did a great job!!
Lynn H. I have the same problem: super dry skin under my eyes, though my eyelids are so oily. I've liked Charlotte tilbury retoucher. It's very emollient almost like a moisturizer. I lightly set it and I'm good to go. It something's gets in my wrinkles but I just pat lightly with my finger and it's gone. While this isn't perfect, it's better than others that make that dry skin like worse with giant cracks.
Lynn H. 👍
Darlene Wood 👍
I have super dry skin too and I found that using a Vitamin E stick before applying concealer helps keep the flakes under control. I can always tell the difference when I skip that step.
For future 2nd round please consider Giorgio Armani high Precision Retouch as for me it wins over my number two which is the Lancôme. The thing I've found as I age is that less is more....I use far less than what you do though my discoloration etc are worse (I'm also dryer I think). The way I am able to make this tiny amount work is with both the Lancôme and the Armani to use a small amount of the corresponding corrector ONLY on the darkest areas (for me the very inner corner and outer corner). With Lancome I use the Maquicomplete under the Effacernes and for the Armani, the Master Corrector in #1 for my skin tone). I was taught by a makeup artist on a film shoot (I was training the dog that was in the film, I wasn't in it) to set with a shadow brush a la Mac 217 with a tiny amount of powder ONLY where there were fine lines and the most AMAZING TIP was to take a matte pink undertone eyeshadow (like the MUFE Artist shadow in M532) and place it where the very dark shadow is at very inner corner / inner edge of nose where one typically places a shimmery inner corner highlight for an unbelievably perfect brightening effect that wouldn't look scaly or dry. Sorry for the marathon length comment but this entire technique has made such a difference that people started asking what I'd had done (which was nothing), the same way your hooded eye makeup trick does!
Thanks Sarah, I am going to try those tips!
I'm going to try those tips, too. Being dryer is s significant factor!
Wait, do you mean first set the concealer with powder, then put the undertone shadow on top? wouldn't that make it cakey? the spot concealing only directly on inner corner discolouration is something I've done forever-that was the way it was always done back in the 80's when I started to apply my own makeup. It's how a lot of the top makeup artists still do it-spot concealing- e.g Lisa Eldridge. It's only in the last few years this ridiculous over application down the cheek thing has been around.
greenknitter the setting powder would go under the eye and the pink toned shadow only on the inner corner - inner edge of nose where esp those with deep set eyes have a lot of darkness. Would it help if I did a little demo video on my Instagram? Hard to describe. Let me know. My IG is the same as my name on here....
I'd love it if you did a demo!!
Awesome! Iv'e been using the Maybelline Age Rewind for years, and when I came across this video I really thought that I would be switching that out for one of your top 3, but now it's confirmed that I'll be sticking with the Age Rewind. Thank you!!
What I like about your videos is that you include links below, so that we can purchase the products you are using. Thank you for that!
I have no idea why everyone doesn't do their videos like this, but it's amazing. Thank you so much! This is fantastic and exactly what I was looking for.
Wayne Goss had this tip and maybe it would work for you in those corners where the product wore away - he said to use an eyelid primer so that the concealer has something to adhere to and should keep it from settling. I suppose it's worth trying. I would only dab a little just in the corners there. You don't need it really anywhere else. Loved the video.
Michelle Reynolds I thought the same thing. It makes sense that an eyelid primer should work in that area.
I've tried that tip and I didn't like it. For some reason, eyeshadow primers really accentuated the dryness under my eye. I've tried UD Primer Potion, Milani (that I love for my eyelid) and even Mac paint pot. I know Smashbox actually makes an "under eye primer" and I'm wondering if anyone has tried that?
It didn't work for me either, Cheryl, but I can't even set my concealer with powder as it makes under my eyes look awfully dry. That area drives me nuts! I see these young girls swiping any old thing under their eyes and they look so smooth and I feel sad those days of smoothness are long gone for me. lol ; )
I have trouble with powders too! I've been using the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores loose powder and so far it's the best but I have to be very light handed. I want to try that By Terry powder that everyone is going on about but I think it's $60 and I just haven't been able to swallow that yet! And what about these girls baking! I actually tried it and oh hell no!!
Cheryle Breaux - hi Cheryle. I use it and I like it, it is quite hydrating without being greasy and seems to set the concealer better than without. Also no nasty ingredients. I'll also wait for the Angie test to see if there is anything better💋
Angie!! This was a SUPERB REVIEW!!! Please make an updated one for 2019!!! I found your channel by pure happenstance but EVERYTHING you have recommended has become Holy Grail Status (Chanel Foundation, Love it!) I’m even gonna get the Lancôme concealer from this video. Please consider making an updated one.🙏🏼❤️
as a women of a certain age, setting powder I use is Sephora bight set pressed finishing powder, it comes in yellow but with a fluffy under eye brush, just sweep n last all day, I have Laura Mercier, Ben nye, n RCMA , but , this one has proven it's work, I use it daily under my eyes n it doesn't get into any lines , wrinkles that I noticed. quite a few r made for mostly younger age, I guess they think women of a certain age don't use makeup!!! but try it,,,,.good video
Wow I’m so impressed with the amount of work you did for this review and for actually showing the close up pictures! This is the first time i’ve really seen a UA-cam choose accurate portrayals over their own vanity for the sake of their viewers! Thanks so much!
Surprised how many viewers are 38-40 years old. I am 73, reasonably attractive, and still interested in finding the best products. Been watching you Angie for a couple years. I hope you are still doing these videos in you 60's and 70's and beyond. You are the gold standard.
Angie, I am in my 60's and would love a review on "puffy eye" cosmetics that really help. A review like this concealer but for puffy eye. I know there are several out there to review. I have been subscribed for several years and enjoy your channel. Thanks
Hi Linda! I am 56 years old and have deep set dark circles although I would say that 70-80% is heredity.(Italian and Irish) Fair/Light skin tone Blue Eyes and thanks to my Italian genes, dark circles have plagued my eyes that warrant questions, "Are you feeling ok??" or "Don't you get enough sleep?" Okay! Now all that said, I can without a doubt feel certain to recommend:
*Senna's Totally Transforming Concealer .09oz (full coverage)in Neutral Light. It has a twist off applicator with the doe sponge or you can use your finger. It helps firm and reduce puffiness as well as crease proof, cake proof and long wear formula becomes invisible on the skin as it covers blemishes, discolorations, redness and leaves a silky finish. I ordered 2 tubes/yr at $22-25 a piece. I usually had at least 1/2 of the 2nd tube left over.
I have my Fall/Winter Concealer Favorite!! I LOVE, LOVE this concealer by:
*Josie Maran Argan Creamy Concealer Crayon .01oz in Fair 1. I use her other Argan infused Products from Cleanser to Day/Night Moisturizers AND so much More!!
Linda Segraves absolutely agree with Linda!
Definite agree about Maybelline's concealer. Amazing. Still use for dark inner corners. Murad Age Reform primer is very wrinkle filling...
Hi Angie, this was helpful. Some of us with hereditary dark circles have to use a color corrector before concealer. Another UA-camr, Stephanie Marie, did a video recently showing how she applies Tarte Shape Tape after her color corrector. Her method really helped me to totally conceal that darkness, and I use less product overall. Every little bit of knowledge helps! 😊
Stephanie Marie and Angie are my favorites.
Mint can you recommend a good color corrector for dark circles?
PolishedbyJamie - I use a small bit of Benifit's Erase Paste tapped on to the darkness. I use the medium shade even though my complexion is fair. I just use a light or fair concealer over it. Bobbie Brown's also worked well for me, but it's drier. Thanks for asking and hope it helps!
Mint hi! so iv never really used concealer bc i never needed it. Now I'm 34 with 4 kids! So i have the obvious "mom bags" and iv been going back and forth on what to get..Tartes shape tape being the main 1 I'm leaning towards (i have a 30%off promo if used. inthe next 12hrs too 😂)but what I'm confused about is shades!!!! I'm a dark olive complexion and being summer now I'm pretty dark. So when it comes to the Shape Tape anyway,do i go 1-2 shades lighter or darker? iv yet to understand this! Anyone else that reads this and uses Tartes Shape Tape please feel free to give your input as well! Thanks! xxx
Oh Angie you've saved me AGAIN! I spent all day yesterday trawling the Internet for the 'perfect' Under eye concealer, and along you came with your fab reviews and saved the day! You're my Beauty Super Hero! Ps.. have you ever tried the Clarins Instant Concealer that seems to get rave reviews? I'm torn between that and the Lancôme one at the moment 👍😍
Tracy Moore 👍👍👍
Angie you’re the best!!!!!!! Which setting powder do you use. You keep saying it. Which one girl. Sooo helpful. Every you tuber should learn from you on comparisons. You are the guru
Best most honest reviewer ive seen. I love how you get up close and personal so wee can see what it really looks like.
my favourite is the age rewind, second Maybelline fit me.
Brilliant, wow you put some work into your videos. This is the biggest make up challenge for me.great video
Now this is how you do a product review.
Angie, congratulations. This is how you review products. You are so educated about the products and so willing to learn more about them by testing them rigidly. You go girl. I think you are wonderful and beautiful. Have a great day!
I like that you tested several products from drugstore brand up to the higher end brands, and that you gave them all a fair shake. That way someone who can't or doesn't want to spend $20 and up for any one make up product, doesn't need to. I found your video VERY helpful, because I have had a very hard time finding the right concealer that doesn't settle into my under eye wrinkles. I bought the Maybelline Age Rewind, and I absolutely love it, thanks to your review. Thank you!
Well said! My thoughts exactly. I really appreciate the honesty and the overall tips given to us more mature girls.
OH MY GOD 😱...this was the best tried and tested review I have ever watched! Subscribed! 😍
BRILLIRANT, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT review, thank you! I'm struggling with concealers under my mature eyes and this was sooooooooo helpful, thank you :)
I’m so glad i found your channel!!!! Super thorough. Easy to grasp. Keep up the great work!!!!
I cannot thank you enough! I will try using the setting powder, I had forsaken it due to the wrinkles but will try it with concealer. I value your reviews so much! You’ve saved me a lot of money!
Thank you as always for being so informative!! I've gone and spent so much money on concealers! And at the end looks worse than ever making my under eye wrinkles worse than they really are! I gave up just don't use it! I'll just put a foundation that is lighter than face one and does the job. Angie would the fractional laser you had work for undereye wrinkles?
Hi Melissa~ The Fraxel Dual laser does help with under eye wrinkles but they can't do very many passes under the eyes (don't want to burn you) so you don't get the same bang as you do on forehead and cheeks.
HotandFlashy what do you recommend ?

Thanks for another great tutorial Angie. I’ve learned so much from watching your videos. I purchased the Lancome Effacernes a few months ago before I watched this comparison and I agree it is one of the best ones I have tried in the last 40 years-at least for my 50+ vintage skin. It is great to know you think so too.I also set it using aLaura Mercier setting powder with a damp beauty blender and I am going to now try your new application method and apply in a larger area like you have demonstrated here. It looks absolutely fabulous and thank you for always coming up with new ideas for keeping us looking our best!
You did an infomercial for “City Lights” concealer. At least, you were in it. Did you get paid for that? If so, why did you not test it here. To be honest, whatever you test and say you love, increases the price to sometimes double what it cost originally, e.g. Revitalash. Are you getting commissions for all these products? A lot of women can’t afford them when the price increases. Also, for the majority of women, your look books are laughable. The majority of everything comes from Nordstrom’s. A lot of women can’t afford that and they certainly can’t afford Chloe or Rebecca Minkoff. I think your “hauls” are pretty much the same. I buy from Nordstrom’s and Sephora's but I have a lot of friends who can’t afford that. I know you do occasional drugstore hauls, however, it’s pretty clear you don’t use them. Again, what I see, whether it be Amazon (especially Amazon) or something else, you have done nothing but drive up prices. Do you get commissions for those items? Also, it’s very difficult to believe you have not had ‘work’ done. I was a nurse before I went back to school to do something completely different, I believe I can tell you exactly what you’ve had done. Even Retin A could not do all that you are claiming it has done. Also, an ARNP friend of mine who works for a plastic surgeon and does filler and Botox, looked at your pictures. You give great information and you are a beautiful woman but it would be interesting to know what your endorsements are and how much they net you in a month and to know what you done, perhaps in your late 40s. If I could do it, believe me I would so there’s nothing of which to be ashamed. I just say own it!
Love your videos!! I started trusting you the minute you listed Lancome Effacernes as your favorite concealer for mature skin!! I have been using it personally for years, I am a makeup artist that has worked for MAC, Chanel, Estee Lauder and Lancome and have been using this on customers with mature skin for years as well even when I worked for another company I would sneak it in (telling the customer of course that it was my favorite) LOL. Thank you for your awesome tutorials they are the best I’ve seen, keep em coming!!!
Dear Angie, I've been watching your videos for a few months now. My concealer (I chose the l'oreal), hydratouch, and finishing powder arrived today. I've never used concealer before and really appreciate your doing this review as it cut through all the overwhelming choices. I LOVE the results!!
I found the maybelline worked the best for you . Thanks for the video.I have learned a lot from it! 🤗🤗
Based on your pictures, I have to say I think Tarte Shape Tape is by far the prettiest!
Emily Banks I agree
I’ve heard the Marc Jacobs coconut eye primer is supposed to make concealer last and not wrinkle. Please try and let us know if that is indeed the case. Thanks for doing this testing for us!
This is everything!! 🙏🏼 thank you for your honesty and REAL photos! I’m in my 30’s and a makeup artist, very descriptive and your makeup skills are exactly as I would do it. so glad you’re not like every MUA promoting shape tape it’s terrible for anyone over 30!! ❤️
Angie, what lipgloss or lipstick are you wearing in these videos? I really like it.
I was surprised to see the Lancôme in the number one spot. I have been using that one for years but never hear anyone talk about it. A little goes a long way and I have had the same tube for I don't know how long!!! It really is my favorite!
been using the Lancome for 10 years, but now it seems i have too dry skin to keep on using it, hence i am still looking for my Holy Grail :///
Missy bell ,that puppy in your pic is the cutest I have ever seen. I love him!!!
Cristina Risso I have dry skin as well. I didn't try the Lancôme but I looooove my make up forever full cover!!! It's currently my holy grail at the moment.
oh, that is my holy grail too, but only for the face (pimples, spots, little veins). It would be too thick for the under eye area ... not sure how you do it with dry skin ...
missy bell 👍
Wow! This has been the best and most informative product comparisons/review I have ever seen on UA-cam. Great Job!
Thanks for the reviews, they were really informative... I use an organic jojoba oil at the 5 hour mark... the teeniest tiny amount... less than a drop and blend it onto my hand and then right at the end tap it onto my concealer... it resets the concealer and you can repowder and go and your face is great for the rest of the day. (Tip stolen from Beauty and the Boutique). It really works for me and gets me a whole day of wear out of my concealer.
Thanks for sharing the tip!!
Just make sure most of the oil has been absorbed or you wipe your concealer off... the first time I did it I ended up losing all my concealer. It's a bit of trial and error.
Ellie Humphris can you recommend a jojoba oil brand? So many to choose from. Thank you.
Jacqueline Gonzalez I bought mine from Beauty and the Boutique... google that and it will show the brand she sells... am at work so can't look at mine sorry. Any organic jojoba will work but only the tiniest tiniest amount....
Ellie Humphris thank you once again 😊
Your top two are the only two I own! One additional bonus with Lancôme is you can match it perfectly with your foundation if you like. Thanks for a great review!
Thanks Angie. This is a very informative video. It’s nice to see that people with mature skin can be notified about what works well for wrinkles. All I see are these young you tubers that pile the concealer on and they have young skin.
A minute and a half in I paused to subscribe and saw that I'm already subscribed. *pats self on back*
Thank you Angie. Very informative and thorough and you’re so fun to watch😊
